Kusukela kwenziwa amalungiselelo eNdebe yoMhlaba thina bantu abampofu besingakaze sibandakanywe ezinhlelweni ukuze sizizwe siyinxenye yayo, ikakhulu uMbutho wethu. Emuva kwalokho sibe sesiphila ngaphansi kwencindezi eyisimanga youkususwa ezindaweni esihlala kuzo, kubalwa emijondolo yako-Siyanda, Motala e-Pinetown, Howick, New Hanover, emafulethini ko-Hilari. Abanye bethu bebesuswa ngesihluku uma bezidayisela emgwaqeni emadolobheni. Abanabhizinisi amatekisi nawo abedliwa ekhishwa emgwaqeni ukuze kuhlomule abame kahle. Kwenyuke nokukhuthazwa kwabantu ukuba badayise ngemizimba, kwanyuka nesibalo sabahaqwe yigciwane lengculazi nesandulela. Kwaphazamiseka ngisho nokufunda kwabantwana ezikoleni.

Isithunzi sabantu abampofu siye salulazeka kakhulu ngalesikhathi kwethulwa nemithetho yokuqedwa kwemijondolo ukuze kujatshuliswe izicukuthwana zangaphandle. Kungakho namhlanje imibutho yethu iye yaqina ukulwa nalenzondo nokuhlaselwa okubhekiswe kwabampofu. Siyayiqinisa imikhankaso yethu nsuku zonke zokulwa nokuxhashazwa kwamalungelo esintu. Sikholelwa ngukuthi amandla ethu nekusasa lezwe nabantwana bethu lisezandleni zabantu abampofu. Sibenayo imikhankaso efana no-Upsidedown World Cup ukukhombisa ukungeneliseki, saba nemibhikisho nemihlangano youkuqwashisa abahlali ngalesimo esibucayi.
